“The project that is RADE allows the powerful processes of art to work their magic – painting, writing, acting, making in all its forms. RADE puts creativity at the service of personal transformation.”

A Proper Da, by Maeve Ingoldsby

RTÉ Radio 1 approached RADE some months back with a radio play proposal. Well-known playwright Maeve Ingoldsby facilitated workshops with the group, which resulted in the development of the script.

The radio play was recorded in the RADE premises over a full day. RADE actors worked alongside professional actors Phelim Drew, Gerry Byrne, Pat Nolan and Natalie Radmall-Quirke. It was a wonderful experience for all involved and hats off to RADE participants who performed fantastically.

The play was aired:
Date: Sunday 26th September 2010
Time: 8pm
